Physics
2 answers:
Rina8888 [55]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

is the same

Explanation:

Half life is define as the time it take for fifty percentage of a radioactive material to disintegrate. After the first half-life passes, half (fifty percentage) of the remaining radioactive material will disintegrate in the next half-life. Then, half of that amount in turn disintegrate in the following half-life and the halving continues.

Answer:50% of its starting atomic mass

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. The half life is the time taken for the activity of a given amount of a radioactive substance to decay to half of its starting mass.

Which of the following scenarios describes an object being acted on by a conservative force?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Option: A feather falls from one end of a tube to the other inside a vacuum.

Explanation:

To answer the question we need to first understand what is meant by Conservative Force.

In principle, Conservative forces are basically forces that are not affected by outside parameters (<em>such as friction, air resistance etc</em>). If the present force is strictly based on the initial and the final location of the object, with the inbetween path being irrelevant, the force will be conservative. A conservative force will be zero if we are looking at a closed path-system. We can also say that the system's energy loss will not be a function of the distance covered but is a function of displacement.

Looking at the available options, we can see that:

<u>Option A: A woman hikes up a mountain to a point 20 feet above ground.</u>

This is a Non Conservative force as this case does not depend just on displacement but also in  the path in between, i.e. hiking up the mountain there will be other forces that will affect the woman such as air resistance.

<u>Option B: A dishwasher was pulled up to a window by a rope, using a pulley system.</u>

This is a Non Conservative force as this case does not depend just on displacement but also in the inbetween path along with the forces present in a pulley system such as friction.

<u />

<u>Option C: A feather falls from one end of a tube to the other inside a vacuum.</u>

This is a Conservative force as here we are looking at a vacuum and its a closed system of no other forces present due to vacuum. However, we CAN'T say that ALL forces in a Vacuum Are Conservative because there are cases of dynamic steady state fields where the system is prone to other forces (i.e. open system).

<u />

<u>Option D: A puck glides across and slowly comes to a stop on an ice rink.</u>

This is a Non Conservative force as this case does not depend just on displacement but also the motion until it comes to a stop, which is possibly due to the friction between the ice rink and the puck.

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

K.E=29.403125J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass M=100

Height 50-20=30m

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}

v=24.25

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\

K.E=29403.125J

K.E=29.403125J
